In NJG 5 the Prince may have flown +AE. he pretty much flew what he wanted, he may have had a fav A/C then maybe not. In his position he could literally tell his stab pilots to step down while he took their A/C for a spin. Again I would be curious at the new publication that has been written about him supposed to have unseen pics........aircraft maybe ?
Rökker had multiple kills I know that for fact from his missions in the Ju 88G-6 from Fall of 44 till wars end, as to early claims in thew ar I would have to really dig them out. 6 kills reported on the night of Feb. 21, 1945. 6 kills on the night of March 24, 1944. 5 kills on the night of June 7, 1944.
Rökkers first multiple night was on August 24, 1943 over Berlin with 2 Lancasters to his credit, nothing before that date as to two or more victories.......... sorry for going backwards on ya with the data.
anyone have the earlier book Laurels for a Prince W. ? published what 4-5 years ago, that would help of course as the Wiki references are not up to date.
this may add to the confusion, the un-released book I am talking about.........seems the atuhor still does not have the info on how the Prince was killed even though his crew bailed out and survived...........wonder why they were not interviewed as they made it till wars end or so I thought.

another thing if interested is the huge volumes NJWD by T. Boiten, mine has been paid and is shipped so will look up the infos after Christmas as I am sure the books will not come before then.
sorry for multiple edits but my info on his service is a bit screwed up for the Princ W. In January 44 he was Kommodre of NJG 2; the profiles could actually be all wrong with the codes and time frames. he was in NJG 5 in 1943 then went to I./NJG 100 on August 1st of 43. August 15th he was CO of II./NJG 3. on December 1, 1943 he was in II./NJG 2........see how messed up the info can become ?
